I have already started one in a little notebook by my bed as well so I can reflect upon it and use it as a tool in my weightloss efforts. I will also likely keep it informal as that is a more realistic approach for me, for now anyway.Ate healthy breakfast of Raisin Bran, 1% milk & cantelope. Went out for early dinner at Ruby Tuesday where I think I did very well: Salad bar (general veggies/minimal dressing), BBQ chicken breast(only ate half), mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Later in the evening took the kids and dog for 30 min walk.

Day 2:

Had a great day-motivated and excited for this weightloss journey.Breakfast was a lite english muffin with peanut butter, grapes and coffee. Lunch was a garden salad with the left over chicken from the night before. And dinner was a 93% lean burger on wheat bread, baked french fries, green beans and side salad. Dessert was a Slim A Bear ice cream sandwhich. My only disappointment was that I snitched some of the french fries, so I ate more like a portion a and half, instead of one regular portion. Exercise and portion control are my weak areas. The good news is I did get a bit of exercise today. I mowed the lawn and did other yard work for a total of about an hour and half, and then in the afternoon I walked up to school and back (probably 1 1/2 miles round trip).
On a side note, I took some pictures of myself in a bathing suit- REALITY CHECK! I have been in denial for too long. I also took measurements:
size = 14
chest = 43 inches
waist = 35 inches
hip = 45 1/2 inches
thigh = 25 inches
arm = 13
The scale records weight and % body fat = 180lbs/39.1 % body fat

Day 3:

Remaning Focuses! Eating healthy : Breakfast was raising bran, 1% milk, and a weightwatchers yogurt. Lunch was a turkey and cheese sandwhich on a lite roll, bran crackers and cantelope. 94% ff popcorn for a snack and dinner was left over spaghetti whole wehat pasta (all in moderate portions).

I also got some exercise in walking up to school and back.

I dont seem to crave anything, even didnt bother with a after dinner snakc/dessert. I cleaned off all the junk on the Nordik Trak, wiped it down and took some steel wool to the flywheel so NO EXCUSES not to get on it and burn some calories! Also, been focused on drinking my water bottle (34 oz).
